Go fishing, Relax in swim spa or play in tunnels This cabin has it all.

Go fishing, Relax in swim spa or play in tunnels This cabin has it all.

The Skipping Stone is nestled directly on the Little Pigeon River, Gatlinburg's pre-eminent trout stream, on three acres, with hundreds of feet of river frontage. Aside from its 'right smack there on the river' location, this luxurious lodge is the absolute, bar none, best of accommodations with over 4,200 square feet, ten-foot ceiling, massive bedrooms (4 identical master suites with king-size beds) and spacious decks overlooking the river.
Luxuries and amenities of The Skipping Stone include HDTV, extensive DVD collection, Playstation 2 and XBox 360 available upon request, excellent kitchenware and dinnerware, stainless steel appliances, Direct TV with tons of premium movie channels, hand-made furniture, fine fabrics, leathers and linens. Each bedroom features its own HDTV and spacious, well-appointed bath with jacuzi tub and separate shower. Hardwood floors and the stacked stone fireplace create a cozy mountain atmosphere. The game room is fully equipped to occupy any guest of any age. Designer-furnished with the very best, this cabin will spoil you either indoors or out.
Aside from the house, the river is the real highlight here. Simply put, the setting is stunning, with the view unobstructed upstream and downstream except for the river house across and a few hundred feet upstream. Looking back from the river, only one neighbor's house is visible for as far as the eye can see. Directly in front of the two floors of decks is a fabulous swimming hole, rapids upstream and downstream. Inner tubes are furnished as well as fishing rods and equipment ( you will need a license and we can furnish all necessary information). The gorgeous view, sounds of the rushing river and gentle breezes make dinner on the deck an unforgettable experience. Likewise, lounging in the hot tub just twenty feet from the river is a special treat.
This million-dollar-plus lodge was completed in 2006 with no detail overlooked. Treat yourself to something truly special, the very best of settings and accommodations, a home you will definitely want to return to again and again.

Long time renter at this fabulous home - the best place to stay in Gatlinburg/Pittman Center area

My family has been staying here since the summer of 2010. We have stayed for as long as four weeks. It is my favorite place ever for staying in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. There are four master suites. In addition there is a pull-out couch in the large family room on the second floor, along with sleeping areas (futon and pull-out couch) on the third floor. There is ample room for your family/friends to spread out and enjoy the property. What is the best part about this home is that it sits right smack on the Little Pigeon River. And the river right in front of the house has areas where you can easily walk/wade into the water. And there is a great "swimming hole" there too. So, the river is both shallow and deep - whatever you want, it is right there. The water is crystal clear, and you can see the fish swimming about! Our six year old grandson put on his goggles, and he was swimming under water, trying to catch the fish! The water is crystal clear - this is the water that comes from the mountains in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - the Greenbrier entrance to the GSMNP is about three miles away from the house. The water could not be any purer/fresher anywhere! You can catch trout and small mouth bass here - we do catch and release. There is a swim spa and Jacuzzi outside. You can stay here, and there is no need to go anywhere else - your outdoor adventure is awaiting you out the back door! However, if you do need to go into Gatlinburg, Dollywood or Pigeon Forge, they are close by. We always make a trip out to Cosby to go to the Cosmic Ties - we shop for our tie-dye pieces there. We also make an annual pilgrimage out to Carver's Apple Farm/Orchard/Restaurant for lunch - the fritters are TDF. We do this early in our trip and we stock up on fresh apple cider, concord grapes, etc. I travel all over the world and this is one of my favorite places ever!

Family Vacation Fun

Loved the house! Great outdoor space on the covered deck with pool and fireplace. Creek provided hours of fishing/swimming entertainment. Rooms were spacious and quiet from floor to floor. Kids space on 3rd floor is unbelievable!

Great location!!

We had a wonderful stay! Had kids ranging from 8 to 3. Loved the 3rd floor play area! Only complaint for it was that it was very hot up there. They couldn't sleep there the first night due to that. The river was a fun place for kids to play and fish as well as relaxing to listen to with a nice cup of coffee in the mornings. We would definitely stay again!

Relaxing Vacation Home

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at this home. It's beautifully decorated and the location is fabulous! You get the sound of the rapids in stereo and you're only about 15 minutes from all of the shopping if that's what you want to do. The washing machine needs some attention, but other than that, we had a wonderful time on our family vacation! Hope we can come back again soon.

Better than pictures or description!! Perfect for multiple families with kids:-)

We had a really nice stay. 2 families with three kids. The river runs right along the entire back of the property and the kids loved exploring around even in the snow. The outdoor pavilion has a huge swimspa that we basically used as a Jacuzzi. In fact, we never used the additional Jacuzzi on the lower level because the wood burning fireplace (the owners even arranged for wood to be delivered!) near the Swimspa in the pavilion was just too awesome.

Inside the house, the fireplace set the mood while everything we needed was provided in the kitchen. There are four identical master suites with bathrooms and jetted tubs so there was no akward "who gets the nice bedroom" upon arrival. The kids loved the third floor game room and maze. There is a huge long section of tunnels on the third floor with TV rooms and video games that could not be cooler for kids and tweens.

The location was really nice. In an area with other million dollar homes and very easy to get to from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge - maybe a 15 minute drive from either. We have stayed at probably 10 cabins in the area and this was by far the best for a larger group. We will definitely come again.

The owners of the cabin really went out of their way to make sure everything was ready when we got there and perfect for our stay. We will be back!!!
